18. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1244r1 Editors Backup practices The IEEE Servers provide durable places to retain the 802.11 source files, drawing files, and other components of drafts. Our best practice is that after a draft is posted in the Member’s Area, a zip file containing all the clean source files, drawing files and other components should be created and sent to the Central Desktop for safekeeping. Please email the Editor when the draft source files are uploaded. Sept 2014 Peter Ecclesine (Cisco Systems)Slide 18

19. Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1244r1 MIB style, Visio and Frame practices I’m going to suggest going forward we use a single style with appropriately set tabs, and use leading Tabs to distinguish the syntax and description parts. (Adrian Stephens Feb 9, 2010) Keep embedded figures using visio as long as possible –Near the end of sponsor ballot, turn these all into.wmf (windows meta file) format files (you can do this from visio using “save as”). Keep separate files for the.vsd source and the.wmf file that is linked to from frame. There is likelihood we should use.emf Frame templates for 11aa, 11ac, 11af Text version of MIB is available (2012, ae2012, aa2012, ad2012, acD5.0, afD5.0. mcD3.0) Sept 2014 Peter Ecclesine (Cisco Systems)Slide 19
